•frcm the Mic l'ork Journal of ComJ. merce. The Journal of Mr. Miller which ue mentioned the other day, is now before the public. It appears under the title of" The condition of Greece,'' from which some might suppose that it was a treatise upon that country It is, however, merely a journal ol llr. M's transactions in the employ of the Greek committee, containing also Lis correspondence with the committee and with some other perms in and out of Greece, and in idditifn to these, the reports of Dr. Done, Geo. Jarvis, Mr. Stuyvesant, Mr. Post, &C. &C. Mr Miller's journal, as he tells the reader, was cr .written to be published, but in appliance with the instructions of the committee, that they might see in vhat manner he. had disposed ol the donations entrusted to his care. It is kept in briet business sty le, and 'm rather a collection of notes than a set cemposition. It shows you all along a plain man laithfully at work ei devouring, if possible, to allevitte the wretchedness ol a wretched people. Around him are collectcd pa sons ol every description though agreeing in one respect, \'yl:in their importunities. The really helpless and wretched he relieves, the indolent he refuses without compunction, ai f' those who threaten he chastises without fear. From this mere journal ol tiansactions, however, the reader will learn more about Uie real condition of Greece, perhaps, than from a studied essay."% He will seem t- i.a\p travelled through the country on business, and to have dealt *ith all the people. In this way the hook ma)' be ol es&ential service it *i!l also be interesting to those ^hose charities Mr. Miller has distributed. The following arc extracts hum the book

I'he r^fiiaindcr 1Tthe afternooa was spent in the labowous (occupation ^'distributing personally to those ot whom a list was delivered to me if: (he morning by the government.

Opened the box ot clothing from Orange, New-Jersey* and began distributing to those who were nearly naked. In halt an hour, there were collected arouml my quarters at least a thousand women and children. In order to prevent any deception on the part of those to whoiu should give, 1 placed several si/.dieis outside of the door, who selected those who were naked, and passed thein into the hop9e, where, with the assistance of two old women, they were clothed and passed out, the soldiers.takinti care that they did not come a 9ccond time. iniv.

It was a novel sight to see the young Heliens rigjjed out in the "b rank dres?, Some of thein were so much pleased with the checkered cotton dresses, that they would fairly laugh out when we were putting theqi on. The Greeks, amid all their distresses, arc ever fond of jokes, and many pleasantries occurred to alleviate my feelings in witnessing sp much misery :r

Among the real objects of charity presented to day was one woman who was well dressed, bat being in a situation which naturally excites compassion, she importuned mc a great while to give her something to makt her comfortable at the birth ot her child. The naked remonstrated against her petitions, saying that she had clothes and they had none.

At length 1 found some suitable garments, *vhich I gave her upon which the ragged multitude raised sucti a shout ot disaprobation, that the woman went away, and troubled ine no more 'Vv -yl

The gown pattern, presented to some fair Miss ol Greece, by two young men ol New-Jersey, I gave to an Athenian girl, who lost her father and all her property in the re cent fall of ^Athens. She was indeed beautiful and if the young men \vtio contributed to relieve her wants, had seen her in her new costume, I doubt if there would not have, been a contest for her favor I believe her charms would have produced a simultaneous expression in the words of Bvron—

the

Maid of Atnens ere we part, Give, oh give me back my heart." I finished the distribution ot all the ready made clothing in the boxes from Orange, in New-Jersey, and the boxes of shoes from Newark.!

In the evening I took a long walk on the Peloponnesus side of the Island. After walking some distance in the mountains, I found a family under a tree, the mother of which was aick of a fever, with four children round her. Having nothing else with me, I gave the mother two dollars, at the same time telling her that it was *doiratiop from the ladies in America. The poor creature was overwhelmed with joy. She called upon Uud to bless the souls of those who had sa liberally supplied her wants *4 The little gjrl which I had adopted was sent to the United States with capt Proctor, in the brig Jane, under the care of Dr. Howe and Mr. Stuyvesant. This afternoon the step-father called, and pretended much sorrow at having sent his child away ,but as knew that the scoundrel had, on his second maniage, endeavored to kill the child, and had

but a little way (except mense quantities in which it is sel dom required) in paying for manufactured articles and secondly, because the revenue of a state, which from abroad buys its manufactures trom

one toll gate only,——its customs, which war must interrupt or entire1/ destroy, whilst it scarcely need be observed, that if manufactures are once well established in a country which has a large raw produce, articles are not only manufactured cheaply but production & consumption the sure sources of national wealth, keep pace together, and may be pushed to any extent. The secret of the American Tariff is therefore this:—America wishes to create? by means of local manufactures, that market at home for her produce, which depends upon the caprice of other countries abroad She wishes to rest her wealth upon a more durable basis than her customs she desires to raise her revenue, as much as possible, within herself, and to produce, from her own industry, skill and machinery, those beautiful fabrics of elegance and art, by which England has enriched herself, and engrossed nearly the market of the whole world.

This is the rcaBonrble defence "of America. She has done no more than she had aright to do. Whether she has taken this step of prohibiting commerce too early, is a matter purely to herself. The only concern of England is, how to stem the new policy, and what retaliatory resources to adopt. 'I his system of a rival is not to be disregarded but, at the same time, a financial revenge or a retort by high prohibitory duties on raw produce, except within certain bounds, would be absurd and insane^'

When Mr. Hi^kisson talked of the liberality of our system, as to that of the American, in the warmth of his indignatioo, he made too free with facts. The truth i-, we tax already certain articles of American produce, (even raw produce) as highly as America proposes to tax our manufactures. American rice pays 1U0 per cent timber 85 per cent. turpentine 100 per coat. 50 per cent, at least, is levied on wheat and flour, and 1,000 per cent, on tobacco! With this example before tl .ir eyes, America cannot justly he blamed, if she lays a duty of 80 per cent, on our woollens, cottons, and hardware JJut rice, tobacco, timber, and turpentine, are minor considerations. The great article of value
